Snakes don’t scare me much. I am not scared of wasps, but hate them.

My son in law is a war veteran, decorated police officer. He is scared cshitless of snakes. I have chased him several times with live rattlesnakes I’ve caught. He squeals like a little girl. If there is a snake in his yard, my daughter has to go kill it.

Here is a good size pine snake I caught a couple of years ago.

Rockinbbar ,

I guess she had no clue what happenned - didn't appear that she ever saw the snake . Sat down and put her both feet in the same spot .

She did have blonde hair ,, ----hope she's ok .

I had to deploy the Combat Masterpiece and some 150gr SWCs yesterday at the ranch. Walked to the back of the cabin to get the fire ready to light for our Sunday evening weenie roast and there was a rattler. SOB was laying right by the fire pit sleeping off a mouse in his belly. One shot through three coils blew him off the pit and another through his head finished the job.

If I see them up in the hills they usually get a pass. Down around the gates, cabin, or corral and they’re in trouble.

Gonna find one of them philippine cobras and send the little bastard to ya...LOL

See now thats just low and mean, like sending pictures of clowns to Steelehead... 🤪🤪🤪

I see you have your snake boots on for them terrible TX rattlers.

My daughter used to have a python, about a 6 footer. Very tame and docile...
...until the cat would walk into the room. The snake thought he heard the dinner bell, and would try to slither after the cat. We named him Alf, after the cat eating alien of TV fame. If I had my way, Alf would have enjoyed his dinner.

Les, I thought about you a couple days ago.

I think I got spider bit...


Was mowing on my riding mower, and had to go between some bushes and there were cobwebs in there I didn't see, and they just covered me. Had to stop and take a rag and get all the cobwebs off.

Just kept on mowing. Had my shorts and tennis shoes on. After awhile I got an itchy burning feeling in my crotch area. It just kept getting worse. So, I stop and shuck those shorts and pull down my underwear and there was a couple of spider legs inside. Guess I'd smashed it.

Then I was sore the next day, and investigated, and found a good sized welt at the base of my dick! Swelled up pretty good too. Took quite a bit of Benadryl and a couple of days to get somewhat back to normal.


Only I could manage to get bitten on the dick by a spider.

Now I’m curious. What ethnic brew would make a man fear spiders?

Just do what I do. Catch them with your snake tongs. The pattern on the skin is pretty when you see it up close.

Only real spiders have to deal with here are them damned camel spiders, Buggers are quick. Guys try and mess with me using scorpions, find out real quick, i will catch snakes and throw them in there office. 95% of the snakes here are poisonous.

Now I will admit, I am a bit more careful when I am at the wifes family farm in the PI, as cobras are just not as easy going as these sand vipers here. They also have BIG fookin Huntsman Spiders theere, and bird eating spiders. I tend to tread lightly when in the jungle around the farm.

Glad it wasn't a big, bird eating spider that was in my shorts!

Might not have anything left!

We have a strip pit in our front yard and usually there are 2-4 green or brown water snakes hanging around. I usually leave them be if they stay on the far side of the pit. If they show up on the house side they die of being sawed in half by a 12ga nitro mag and usually get one or 2 a summer with the mower

Cool! When I had to live in Kansas, I used to catch Copperheads near the house and relocate them. My wife is terrified of snakes. She can barely look at a picture of one.

Ill ensure i do a Jane, and add a not that you wanted it.

?

Remember Jane, the one who sent me the Banana bread with friggin fake spiders. My Ma, and VANimrod were involved in that.

Were they baked in the bread or just on top?

Some of them ones with the big long legs maybe?
